But that's what makes it "hunting" rather than just "killing."
So far I have had no luck. I could have taken several immature bucks but have only seen one good one and he completely faked me out. I had just arrived home from a morning hunt and walked into my living room. I glanced out the back window and there stood a BIG buck about in the edge of an 8-year-old pine plantation behind my woodshop. I grabbed my muzzleloader and slipped around the shop with my eyes fixed on the spot were I had last seen the deer. Meanwhile, he had moved out into the open and crossed a food plot not over 75-100 yards from where I was creeping toward the pine. We never saw each other and just passed like two ships in the night. However, my wife watched it all from inside the house. She made sure that all my little friends heard about this.
We have about 3 weeks of hunting left and most of that time is either sex. I hope to take two or three does for my year's meat, and with any luck one good buck will make an appearance.
. I'm not ready to shoot a doe yet but had my chance at these awsome bucks...just one of the joys of bow hunting...getting so close to them but not being able to take them home...
